North Shore Greenway

The North Shore Greenway offers a car-free, family friendly place to bicycle on Maui. It’s located on the makai side (ocean side) of the Kahului airport runway between Kahului and Paia.

Getting there
You can access this 1.7 mile mostly flat path from either Kanaha Beach Park in Kahului or Kaunoa Senior Center at 401 Alakapa Place in Sprecklesville. While you can ride on the wide bike shoulders on Alakapa Place and Makahiki Road, and other quiet roads in Sprecklesville toward “Baby Beach,” there is not yet a continuous bike path that will allow you to ride all the way to Baldwin Beach from Kanaha Beach Park at this time.

Coming soon: Northshore Greenway Phase IV
Phase IV of the Northshore Greenway will provide the “missing link” in the current Northshore Greenway. It will link Sprecklesville to the section of the North Shore Greenway at Baldwin Beach Park. This will make it possible to bicycle or walk from Kanaha Beach Park all the way to Paia, on a mix of an off-road bike path and some quiet streets in Sprecklesville.
